Over the past decade, however, the barrier between these two has steadily been crumbling. UC and AV are rapidly converging, and AV systems are increasingly relying on IP networks. This convergence has led to the introduction of new networking requirements and design approaches, such as AVLANs and AVIoT, which involve exciting new capabilities as well as design challenges. In this article, we delve deeper into this convergence story, helping you to better understand the benefits and intricacies this evolution represents for both network engineers and AV integrators.

As smart building technologies gain traction, Power over Ethernet (PoE) is emerging as a key enabler, extending far beyond its original role of powering network gear. One of the most exciting frontiers? PoE lighting. In this article, we explore how PoE lighting can be seamlessly integrated into your existing infrastructure, and how resellers and system integrators can tap into this growing trend to expand their offerings, add value for clients, and stay ahead of the curve. We also take a look at what’s next for PoE as it powers a new era of low-voltage innovation.   [Read More](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/the-future-is-low-voltage-unlocking-value-with-poe-lighting) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/the-future-is-low-voltage-unlocking-value-with-poe-lighting#comments-listing) Topics: [Trends](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/topic/trends), [IoT](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/topic/iot), [PoE](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/topic/poe), [Power Management](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/topic/power-management), [Facility Management](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/topic/facility-management), [Network Infrastructure](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/topic/network-infrastructure) ## [How telecom tech and blockchain improve global supply chains](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/how-telecom-tech-and-blockchain-improve-global-supply-chains) Posted by [Daniel Noworatzky](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/author/daniel-noworatzky) on Oct 30, 2024, 10:25:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.teledynamics.com/hubfs/blog-images/blockchain2.jpg)](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/how-telecom-tech-and-blockchain-improve-global-supply-chains) Blockchain has garnered significant attention in recent years as a technology capable of securely recording sequential transactions and maintaining consistent information across multiple computer networks.

It is one of those protocols that we don’t often think about because it functions in the background — users are completely oblivious to its operation, just enjoying its convenience and flexibility. However, DHCP is about more than automatic address allocation, especially for VoIP and UC devices such as IP phones and video terminals. In this article, we explore the operation of DHCP and the specialized options it provides for VoIP and UC applications, some of which you might not know about!
